Yeah same with facebook and twitter and instagram I think. They're on clampdown mode.

It's funny how tons of violent movies are totally OK, but real violence is hidden away from the public. I know they don't want to "glorify the killer", which I don't think it does, and censoring info about huge crimes is not a good idea, imo

The issue was that the shooter wanted the video spread. He basically played media outlets like a fiddle, doing everything specifically to pluck at media's strings and add more division and chaos by twisting stories

It's one thing to be uncensored. It's another thing when media pretends to be uncensored when they are curating every little thing to maximize an agenda

I'm sickened by that shooter, but I am REALLY hoping that this soon results in fines and such for media. Either be news and be neutral, or shut up and stop twisting stuff and publishing half truths

Fucking... Half truths, manipulation, twisting the facts all are the worst kinds of censorship

I agree, you bring up a lot of good points. There used to be news media truth-telling laws in place, and then things like the Patriot act and the 1996 Telecommunications Act got rid of those. And also there used to be 35 media companies in 1985, and now there are 6.

Where's the Catholic film rating organization when you need them. They at least made is impossible at that time for hollywood films to glorify evil and violence as good.

...while raping children and covering it up

Well, not all catholics and christians rape children and cover it up. It's the upper hierachy. Real Christians wouldn't rape people.

True, but it is covered up on the institutional level, and is well known-about, so I have to question the ethics of someone who chooses to belong to such an organization. But you're right the people doing it at the top are the truly guilty ones. But they're surrounded by this cloud that covers their actions, making them more likely to occur. There's a lot of shared guilt. Which I guess is fitting since it's the Catholic Church lol

Where's God when you need him.

This is what's so fucked about this entire thing, subreddits such as watchpeopledie had thousands of videos of little kids being crushed, set on fire and beheaded. But as soon as it happens to 'us' everyone goes ape shit, and the video gets scrubbed from the internet.
